Paul Bessire of predictionmachine.com will join me to give his picks every week for Capper’s Corner. Paul talks about some of the biggest match-ups in Pro and College football. He will tell you where you can find value and we will always discuss the local teams.

Also I give out my College Football picks as well as 5 NFL picks including my Conn-Crete Lock of the Week. My Conn-Crete lock of the week is on the San Francisco 49ers as i expect them to blow out the Eagles. The Eagles have trailed by double digits in each of their 3 games and came back to win all 3. It won’t happen this week against the 49ers. I give out 5 college selections and 5 NFL picks as well. Give it a listen and we will keep track on my end.
